As it turns out, it was extremely easy to test, and I was right. The

random file (I made an aaa.txt file) was removed when I updated the

theme.



No bugs here. It works the way I thought it did. Upgrading themes

removes the whole theme directory before unpacking the new theme.

Files added to a theme will be removed too.
